These basic instructions will go over the procedure utilizing our Basic Darkroom B&W Lab, see our advanced printing page for examples on using the Pro Darkroom Labs.

Basic film printing will consist of placing the film negative strip into a negative carrier (part of the photo enlarger), the negative carrier will frame out a single frame on the negative strip. The negative carrier is then placed in photo enlarger. A sheet of photo paper will then be placed onto the enlargers baseboard or easel. When the enlarger is turned on it will project the negatives image onto the photo paper will it will burn its image in. The exposed photo paper is then processed much the the film negatives where thus exposing the final image. The picture as now we have it, will be allowed to dry into a beautiful picture for enjoyment.
